Combat Medic Archive

And another thing. Clearly the devs intended medic types to have some sort of self-reliance to get necessary materials for their components. It's a whole line of skill that deals with /medicalforage. Yet, it's so utterly broken that after some 10 seconds you get ... 1 flower

This was going to be my point exactly Wolfing. I don't know thinkMedical Forage should have the same efficiency as surveying and harvesting but Medics/Docs/CMs should be able to gather specific resources (how specific depends on the foraging skill level) and more than just 1 unit every 10 seconds.

I don't think the problem so much is acquiring enough resources to max out your crafting skills as it is to be able toobtain necessary components after you drop artisan. Once you dump novice artisan, you basically throw out your opportunities to craft advanced components, and while not necessary, the quality of the medicines you're using takes a dramatic turn for the worse.
